Design of a living-room in a Khrushchevka: basic principles

Stylish design is quite achievable,despite the fact that the apartments of the Khrushchev building are distinguished by a small area, low ceiling height, a combined toilet and bathroom, and the absence of an entrance hall. The only advantage is the presence of a pantry in the Khrushchev. Zoning can be done with color, ceiling structure, podium.

Basic principles of interior design

The idea of ​​converting an apartment into a full studio is not alwaysis acceptable for security reasons for the construction of the building, because it implies the destruction of internal walls, which may be carriers. Even with proper calculation, this method is not always good. It is very difficult to foresee the degree of deterioration and real strength of the old panel construction, which is the Khrushchev. And for most people, it's a habit to have a separate kitchen from the room. Picture 1. In the bedroom-living room should be an abundance of light and light colors. That is why the most popular solution is to combine the living room and bedroom or the device between them a sliding door or a door-accordion. Modern design solutions make it possible to make a very small room maximally functional. And building materials, furniture and interior items will make the design of the living room in Khrushchev's luxurious. It is necessary only to carefully study the lighting features of the room and decide in advance which style to choose for the decoration of the interior. The design of such a room should be kept on minimalism and neutral colors in the design, as can be seen in Fig. 3. No matter how you want to use rich colors and massive furniture, they will have to be abandoned. The design of the living room implies a visual expansion of the space. And this can be achieved only with the help of light, pastel colors and shades. So, the main principles of interior decoration in Khrushchev are:

• the use of light, calm colors in decoration and furniture;
• maximally possible expansion of window openings;
• refusal to use massive furniture and large decor items (chandeliers, etc.);
• minimum of furnishings in the living room;
• visual zoning.

The balcony in Khrushchev needs to be used. To do this, it needs to be glazed, to insulate the outer walls and to arrange heating. This should be done only by construction specialists after approval by the appropriate authorities. Further, the balcony can be used in two ways:

Combining it with the room, expanding the balcony opening.

Having arranged on the balcony a kind of mini-room.

In the second case it could be a mini-living room withor a study with a full-fledged small desk and bookshelves. This is a great way to create a separate room in which you can retire. Back to contents</a>

Basic ideas of planning

Figure 2. Using a pantry in the Khrushchev's under the dressing room, you can free the room from cabinets and wardrobes. When planning the design of the living room should be built taking into account the necessary zones. For example, do you need a dining area, a working area with bookshelves and a computer, a children's zone, etc. As a rule, visual division into zones is carried out with the help of correctly installed pieces of furniture. Corner sofa in the living room will separate the rest zone, light through-the-shelf shelving - working. The sleeping area can be either explicit or hidden. More recently, in a one-room Khrushchev, the only possible sleeping place was considered to be a sofa. These times are a thing of the past. Modern fashion trends allow not only to install a bed in the room, but also to focus on it. This can be done by decorating the pedestal or arranging the canopy. Another important principle is the placement of accents. By focusing on the bright object of the decor, you can divert attention from a small area. Usually such an object is unusual curtains or a picture on the wall. Although the paintings and other art objects should be treated with great care. Choose small, consonant with the general style of objects that do not occupy space. Whichever style is chosen, the design of the bedroom implies an abundance of light. A frameless sofa can be transformed into anya sofa or a bed. Even if the apartment goes to the north side. First, you need to maximize the window openings. If there is a balcony door, arrange it according to the principle of the French window. Secondly, it is necessary to think over the most effective lighting system with the use of all kinds of lamps and hidden lamps. It is the highlighting - the most effective way to visually expand the space, visually increase the height of the streams. A very effective way to illuminate the apartment and visually expand the space are the illuminated mirrors. They are placed on walls and even on ceilings, creating the illusion of infinite space. In this case, the light should be soft, scattered. A very good effect is provided by LED lamps. It is necessary to study the principle and try to arrange floor lighting, in which at different times of the day you can include lamps of different levels and degrees of illumination.

Interior decoration techniques

Figure 3. Design in the style of minimalism provides for the existence of compact furniture, as well as the lack of a large number of decor.

Small compact furniture will help to avoid feeling cluttered and crowded. Small coffee tables, pouffes, light racks on the walls - this kind of furniture should be preferred.

Making out the design of the bedroom, it is best to usebeige, light gray, tender-lime, pale pink colors, for example, as in Fig. 1. For contrast and accents, you can combine more pale shades with bright and saturated colors.

Usually there is a pantry in the Khrushchev. It is best used as a dressing room. This will not clutter the room with a closet, but a small hallway shelves for clothes and shoes. There you can move from the bedroom in Khrushchev an ironing board and many more necessary, but not fitting into the interior of things (Figure 2).

If the apartment has niches, they should be used with maximum benefit. In a niche you can place even a bunk bed. Then practically the whole area of ​​the bedroom in Khrushchevka will be free.

Many prefer solitude. In order to ensure coziness and a sense of privacy, fake partitions are used. Such partitions only partially separate the zones from each other. As a rule, they do not reach the ceiling. False walls perfectly fit into the bedroom design. Even more convenient option are all kinds of screens. They will allow instantly to separate one zone from another. Shields should be selected taking into account the general style. They can be tightly attached to the wall or to leave the opportunity to move the screen across the room. All sorts of canopies and curtains are not so popular, although they do an excellent job of separating part of the space. So, the canopy suspended on a round cornice, can create a complete illusion of a separate bedroom in Khrushchev. The ideal solution can be the use of furniture that can transform into size and retire into special boxes and niches. It is a question of folding tables, lifting beds, sets of serving tables, retractable one into another. The bedroom design can include mezzanines that are arranged above the doorway or directly above the bed.
